Can't wait! Been watching the US Olympic Trails (I dont think the Canadian ones are televised). The gymnastics last night was awesome, as was the swimming. Looks like Phelps has some big competition from his teammate!
But you guys have to cheer on my buddy Luke in the 470 sailing at the games :mrgreen: Hope he and his partner do well.

Supposedly, none of the gymnast girls from 2008 are coming back. Nastia didn't qualify.
And Natalie Coughlin didn't qualify for any individual swimming events. She only qualified for the team relay. I had a huge crush on her 4 years ago.

and i also think that pro sportsmen like in the tennis and football should be able to take part
You Brits have been pissed about the London Olympics since I was there last about 8 years ago and they were just being bid on :lol:
I was kinda the same way a couple years ago here... but after they came to town, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Honestly, I want those 2 weeks back. Never had so much fun, felt so patriotic, been so proud of my city, or loved sports that much. It was an awesome experience from start to finish
Meh

You will not come in here and sully my thread. Go stand in the corner, young man.
Amen!Quote:

I wanted to compete in the Olympics since I was a little kid. I think it was because my Dad was so into it, he watched it every year it was on and he was so patriotic (Vietnam veteran, go figure). I guess it kinda rubbed off on me.
:lol: sorryQuote:

That junk with the two female sprinters is complete horseshit. How the hell can you concede and say you're at peace when given the chance to runoff for an Olympic birth? Fighters fight until the end. Quitters concede. Why the hell did you even bother showing up for the trials in the first place?
:dunno:
:oops:
didn't see this, my bad
Or going on strike. :roll:Quote:
